The location is really good if you’re commuting locally. The university is always looking to improve itself - from subject reviews to actual technologies used in buildings. I like the hybrid University schedule. It could improve by looking better from the outside - I think they could have more out door seating options and like social hubs than just the student union building.

Best part of university experience is everyone and everything is reach and so you never feel quite alone. Everything is available on campus and easily accessible. Maybe online support could better. Reaching out for help through emails can take long for example.

I've had a great time at uni so far! The campus is conveniently located, and there are plenty of activities on and off campus. As for improvements, I think it would be beneficial to strike a balance between online and physical learning.

I love the people and location of the university although the campus is small there's lots to do and new people to meet.
One strength of Studying at Aston University is that it is well-known for its Academic Excellence: Aston University is renowned for its academic excellence and commitment to providing quality education. The faculty members are highly knowledgeable and supportive, creating a conducive learning environment. The rigorous coursework prepares students well for their future careers. Strong Industry Connections: One of the standout features of Aston is its strong connections with industry. The university has partnerships with numerous companies, providing students with valuable internships, placements, and networking opportunities. This bridge between academia and industry enhances the practical relevance of our education. Career Services: Aston's dedicated career services play a pivotal role in helping students transition from education to employment seamlessly.

State-of-the-Art Facilities: Aston boasts modern facilities and cutting-edge technology. The university provides resources that enhance the overall learning experience, from well-equipped laboratories to advanced libraries and collaborative spaces. The campus is designed to foster innovation and creativity. However, some things the university can improve on is; Limited Campus Size: While the campus is modern and well-equipped, its size is relatively compact. Some students may feel that this limits the variety of extracurricular activities and facilities available compared to larger universities. However, the proximity of resources is convenient. Limited Sports Facilities: Although there are sports facilities on campus, some students find them to be limited in terms of variety and size. Those with a strong interest in sports may feel that additional investment in this area would enhance the overall student experience. Limited Social Scene: Aston's social scene might be considered more subdued compared to larger universities. While there are student organizations and events, some students feel that a more vibrant social scene could further enrich their university experience.
Very friendly staff, a brilliant student union, a variety of good societies and on-campus activities, the resources provided to us are of high quality and the older students are all friendly and helpful towards the newer students, the main building is very open and comfortable, the only negatives are the offices are a bit claustrophobic, but overall great place, great people

The Lecturers
The students and the teachers are the core components, they enable us as students to progress more and to push ourselves. They have the best resources to access which are available to everyone
The environment is very open and friendly and feels inviting. Could be improved by getting more places to sit.
The freshers week was organised well and a lot of fun.
The best part of aston university is the facilities that it provided, I really like how they provide all the toiletres for girls to use and also the academic support they give. The worst part, is they don't give support for students who commute, I know other universities who offer free transport for their students but Aston doesn't do that.
Main building could be updated, very old looking.
Having more support for certain modules from teachers is much appreciated. For example, providing more transcripts to help approach lectures and learning materials.
Aston university is a great place to study as they encourage people to interact and put on lots of activities for students. Lectures are incredibly helpful and patient. It has a great location and has a great campus.
I love the community everyone is welcoming and many events to take part in very joyful
The university is too small for the amount of students however the student life is spectacular and the help you get is better than any university. University’s are meant to be an independent experience however a lot of students struggle with independence and Aston helps a lot with that and I think that’s what makes studying at lot easier and motivates students to do well and enjoy themselves.
4.2
The best aspect about Aston University is the diversity of the students. It feels nice to go to such a diverse Uni. The location is good since it is in the city. The worst thing is the WiFi connection in the library. The connection is sometimes poor is some areas.
The best aspect about the course is how the lectures really want you to do well. They always are there to answer questions and help us if we don’t understand anything. The blended learning helps to take your own initiative of your learning. The worst part is sometimes the course content can be a bit too overwhelming.
